Let me share with you a neat little tool that I have just stumbled upon that I believe will help increase my sales by big percentages and will do the same for your blog.

Firstly, lets talk about the problem that this little tool solves so you know where I am coming from when I say to you that I believe this tool is really good. If you conducted some research about the time your visitors stay on your blog, I think you’ll be surprised, and disappointed, to find out that a good 70-80% of your visitors do not spend more than 10 seconds reading your sales pages of your blog or even your blog itself.

In my last post I wrote that the best way I have found to generate good amounts of traffic to your blog, especially in the early days, is to write quality articles and submit them to article directories. I gave you the formula to write these quality articles and get noticed, but the next problem is the actual submission of these articles to article directories.

Well, its not that this process is hard to do as all article directories now have a web interface that allows you to enter in your article information, keywords, authors bio and resource box with relative ease. The issue is the time it takes to do this especially if you are submitting a few or many articles. [Read more →]

Well you can.. not quite in the way some of you may be thinking of though (I think there are some forums around that will let you let off a little steam about the search engines). You can basically tell a search engine which parts of our blog you want it to crawl and include in their index. [Read more →]

There are a lot of factors that affect how the major search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc) rank your site in their search results for your keywords. A tip for bloggers who want to have their site ranked well, especially within Google, is to create a sitemap and then have this uploaded to Google and other major search engines.

Why are sitemaps important? Here is what Google says about it:

“Google uses your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase our coverage of your webpages” [Read more →]

I’ve started a new category - things that bloggers shouldn’t do. Here’s the first one..

I recently was on a forum that was accessed mostly by newbies and a few experienced IM’ers. One of the more experienced IM’ers wrote a post telling people that they should always remember to keep resubmitting their sites or blogs over and over again to search engines, and if they didn’t they would lose page rank and fast. The poster quoted a personal experience stating that when they stopped resubmitting to the search engines they lost PR from something like 3 to more than 13 in the space of weeks and then when they started again, their PR shot back up to 3.

Here is an article written by a very successful blogger - see his details at the bottom of this article.

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.
